佛山霍利斯 学校剧院

我们的学生已经为这次的音乐剧表演进行了好几个月的准备工作，投入了无数小时的课外时间进行练习，致力于提升和完善他们的角色表演。最近，他们参加了非常多次的排练，塑造角色形象和磨练表演技巧，共同合作为观众们带来一场精彩的演出。

本次音乐剧演出将在我校先进的黑匣子剧院进行，我们的学校剧院正是专门为这种专业演出活动而设计的。本次音乐剧表演的观众名额有限，我们鼓励感兴趣的家庭尽早报名。本音乐剧演出适合所有年龄段的观众观看，欢迎邀请您的家人一起出席。

幕后花絮…

正所谓“台上一分钟，台下十年功”，一部音乐剧的成功演出，离不开学生、老师及其他工作人员的点滴付出和刻苦努力。在这过程中，参演学生们互相合作，互相支持，建立和发展了强大的社区意识和团队合作意识。从奇幻场地的布景到精美戏服的采购，老师和工作人员团队十分忙碌，确保为演出顺利进行而做好一切准备。

我们邀请了戏剧学科主任及创意艺术学科主任Savill先生给大家分享更多本次音乐剧的精彩幕后故事。

Mr Stuart Savill

Stuart Savill先生，戏剧学科主任，拥有超过20年任教经验，曾担任GCSE戏剧科目的高级考官和评分监督。

事实上，制作一部音乐剧是一个非常漫长的过程，过程中涉及的人员很多，这些在幕后默默付出的人也同样值得我们的尊敬。首先，我们要确认选择哪一部音乐剧，并向版权持有人申请表演许可。接着是设计、选择和创建不同的音乐剧元素，例如布景、灯光、音乐和服装等。

这次演出也离不开整个团队成员的配合与支持，很感谢以下几位老师和我一起指导学生的排练。例如，Ms Morgan帮忙排练舞蹈部分，并为Munchkins和Jitterbugs编排集体舞。

Mrs Chapman帮助学生练习台词，并纠正生词读音——因为这部戏剧是以20世纪50年代的美国为背景，剧中包含了很多比较陌生生僻的美国俚语表达。

Mr Hobourn正帮助独唱的学生熟悉歌曲，Miss Jessica和Miss Kitty则确保预备部学生准时且安全地到达及离开排练现场，并协助排练期间相关的各项事务。

排练从学习音乐和通读剧本开始，然后我们开始舞台彩排，确定每个角色入场的时间以及舞台站位。舞蹈和歌曲部分形成雏形后，演员们开始学习台词，塑造角色，场景布置也会随之进行。

戏剧演出的成功不仅在于反复排练，幕后工作也非常重要。幕后团队的成员正在敲定服装和道具清单，而我也一直在忙于布置舞台两边幕布后的候场区域。

演出服装是这部音乐剧的亮点之一，学生们非常兴奋地试穿他们的服装。他们一直在尝试不同的发型和化妆风格来完善自己的造型，目标是要给观众们留下深刻印象。每套服装的细节都非常到位，我们相信这将会让演出的整体效果增色不少。

我们还想分享的是，这部作品让我们的学生有机会探索和发展他们的创造力、信心和想象力。《绿野仙踪》的故事聚焦于友情、亲情和如何面对挑战等，这也是学生们的人生课题。对于许多学生来说，学校已成为他们的第二个家，一个结交新朋友的地方，一个每天都面临新挑战的地方——无论是学校生活中的挑战，还是创作我们的第一部音乐剧所遇到的挑战。

❖

佛山霍利斯很高兴能够为学生们提供一个展示自己才华和成长的机会，帮助他们进一步发现自己的兴趣和优势，鼓励他们突破自己的界限，探索新的领域。欢迎大家踊跃报名和出席观看，让这次演出成为每个人的难忘经历。

LEH International School Foshan is proud to present the school’s first production of the timeless classic, "The Wizard of Oz" (Young Performer’s Edition). We would like to extend the invitation to all members of the school community and any interested families to join us on the 29th or 30th of March, to witness the extraordinary talents of our students from all year groups as they showcase their acting, singing, and dancing skills in this fantastic drama show.

Date & Time:

Session I: 17:00 – 18:30, 29 March

Session II: 18:00 – 19:30, 30 March

Venue:

LEH Foshan School Theatre

Our students have been preparing for this production for months, investing countless hours of practice, hard work, and dedication to perfect their performances. They have been rehearsing for hours on end, building their characters, honing their performance skills, and working together as a team to put on a spectacular show for you.

The production will take place in our school"s state-of-the-art Black Box Theatre, which has been specially designed for events like this. The seats are limited, and we encourage you to sign up early to secure your spot. The production is suitable for all ages, and we welcome the entire family to enjoy the show together.

Behind the Scenes…

Behind the scenes, there have been many highlights that have contributed to the excitement and anticipation of the big day. The students have been collaborating, supporting one another, and building a strong sense of community and teamwork. Teachers and staff have been working tirelessly to ensure that everything is ready for the show, from creating fantastic sets to sourcing the intricate costumes.

We invite Mr Savill, Head of Drama and Head of Creative Arts Faculty to share more stories behind the scenes.

Mr Stuart Savill

Mr Stuart Savill is the Head of Drama & Creative Arts Faculty, and Exams Officer with over 20 years of teaching experience. He has also held positions including Student Council Coordinator, and worked as a Senior Examiner and Senior Moderator for GCSE Drama.

Producing a musical is actually a very long process and involves a large number of people, many of whom the audience will never see. It begins with selecting the musical and applying to the rights holders for a performance license. Different production elements, such as, set, lighting, sound, and costumes have to be designed, chosen and created etc.

A production like this also requires the support of a whole team of people fulfilling a range of roles. In rehearsals, there are several staff members working with me to lead additional rehearsals and complete other tasks. For example, Ms Morgan, who has led the dance rehearsals and created the large group dances for the Munchkins and Jitterbugs.

Mrs Chapman has been helping students explore their lines and clarify words that they don’t know – our play is set in 1950s America and our script contains lots of unfamiliar and old-fashioned American slang words.

Mr Hobourn is helping soloists to learn their songs. And Miss Jessica and Miss Kitty are ensuring prep school students arrive and depart the rehearsals safely and on time, as well has helping with all the other little things that need to be done during a rehearsal.

Rehearsals begin with learning songs and reading through the script. Then we begin blocking, which is where we decide where each character will enter and exit, and where they will stand or move around on the stage. Dances and songs are gradually developed and improved, actors learn their lines and build their characters, and scenes start to take shape.

The rehearsals are not the only place where work is going on to prepare for the production. Outside of the rehearsals, there are more members of the production team finalising our costume and props list, and I have been spending time in the workshop building stage flats that will help create the wings (the hidden areas where the actors enter from) at the sides of our stage.

The costume is one of the highlights of this production, and the students have been very excited to try on their outfits. They have been experimenting with different hair and makeup styles to perfect their look, and it is sure to impress the audience. The attention to detail in each costume is impeccable, and we know that it will add to the overall spectacle of the show.

We would also like to share that this production has given our students a chance to explore and develop their creativity, confidence, and imagination. The story of Wizard of Oz focuses on the themes of friendship, home and facing a challenging journey. These themes are important aspects of life at LEHF, where for many students the school has become a second home away from home, a place where they make new friends, and a place where every day we face new challenges, whether it be within our school work, or the challenge of creating our first musical production.

LEH Foshan is delighted to be able to provide our students with such a fantastic opportunity to showcase their talents and grow as individuals. It has been a unique and valuable learning opportunity that has allowed them to discover their interests and strengths while encouraging them to push their boundaries and explore new territories. We hope to see you all at the show and make it an unforgettable experience for everyone involved.
